You did, didn't you? Here's the deal. Baby Boomers are a bunch of money-grubbing sell outs. You remind them of that, so they don't like what you have to say. And no amount of Cadillac commercials set to Led Zepplin can hide it. Did you just sorta quote Eddie Murphy doing Richard Pryor? You did, didn’t you?

To me, I just think, <em>what are you doing here?</em> Don't you have ENOUGH media geared toward your pathetic demographic? Like every major magazine and newspaper? Bitches, this site is not for you. So go have a bottle of Silver Joke and smile and shut the fuck up. Aw, thanks guys.

The more there are of these commenting on your site, the more you can be assured that you're readership is high enough to attract them, which means your blog is successful, which means that you kick ass. Excellent work, sister. If you write from the authority of your own knowledge and experience, there’s always gonna be some dildo out there who cannot resist calling you a snob.

I have a serious problem with "wine snobs" who perceive themselves as god's gift to grapes. That said, I had absolutely no trouble with any of your posts thus far. They are your <i>opinion</i>, not canon. I'm free to agree of disagree with you, or to take your views, filter them through my own, and come up with a better rounded understanding of the topic at hand. And if I happen to really disagree with you, well then it's my perogative to post a comment with some useful criticism to expand the discussion. Who knows, maybe we'll both learn something new. The loss of perspective is a shame. I wish people would realize that blogs are windows of communication, and we're lucky to get a glimpse into <i>anyone's</i> head, loathe them or like them. I like a little snark myself, so reading your feed provides me with both amusement and entertainment.
